For me other would be: SAH:-lo-may (I'm Dutch btw), the first A is emphasized, long and AH not A. I hope that helps :)

In Afrikaans the emphasis has shifted, and it's: sa-LOO-meh. The long o, which I've shown as OO, is actually a diphthong, like a surprised person saying: Ooh-er!, but quickly.

OK, thanks. I was thinking the A as more of a AH anyway. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.
